Bits Investigation is an always-on AI SRE agent from Datadog that investigates alerts the moment they fire. Built and tested against thousands of real-world incidents, it analyzes millions of signals across a stack in seconds, identifies root causes within minutes and suggests code fixes. Datadog reports that teams restore services 90% faster. Engineers can discuss findings with Bits in everyday language, and each investigation produces a clear, verifiable root cause analysis. The agent also improves its accuracy as it learns from each investigation over time.
The agent is built for on-call engineers, site reliability engineers and DevOps teams that run complex cloud environments and lose sleep to late-night alerts. Junior engineers get contextual guidance and suggested actions that shorten on-call onboarding, while senior responders gain extra capacity because Bits can handle multiple alerts at once. Engineering leaders at larger companies get enterprise-grade controls for scaling AI across teams. Existing Datadog customers will find it easiest to adopt, since it draws on the monitoring data already flowing through their account.
A typical case starts with a paging alert: Bits automatically begins an investigation, explores several possible root causes in parallel and posts its reasoning and evidence. Engineers ask follow-up questions through chat, review a suggested code fix and hand it to the right team. Incident response teams use it to reduce downtime and avoid pulling in extra people at night. Results and discussion can be shared in Slack, tickets opened in Jira or ServiceNow, and code changes tracked in GitHub. Datadog offers a 14-day free trial of its entire product suite for evaluating it.
